My Cell Prison-Chapter 1253 - 1252: Presenting Evidence in Court

The brain resting within the wooden box emitted a cold chill.

It once belonged to Luo Gaocheng, who had assisted Han Dong, ventured together into the depths of the Demon Region, and even successfully obtained [Moon Water] on Moon God Mountain, aiding the Completion Plan.

The Demon Region Governor—Wang Shiheng had already promised Luo Gaocheng a reclusive identity, allowing him freedom to live within the Corpse Country.

Yet, who would have expected their next meeting to be in such a manner.

Moreover, Han Dong held a certain fondness for Luo Gaocheng. His ice attribute constitution was rare and unique amongst the undead, forming a stark contrast with Shentu Yang. With better treatment and resource support, he might have even grown to the level of a Minister... it’s a pity that he had already been killed.

The silver needles inserted into the brain and a series of Machinery devices maintaining the brain’s vitality seemed capable of extracting memories from the brain to serve as evidence in court.

The situation had become quite clear.

The one who killed Luo Gaocheng and extracted his brain was Chen Xinying.

Such an action also seemed to answer to her initial obsession with killing ’Frozen Bone’... unaffected by the Corpse Bug, Chen Xinying always intended to kill this person, it was just that her plan had been disrupted by Han Dong.

"Your Majesty, this brain was taken from the Ministry of Punishment’s fugitive—ranked seventh on the wanted list, the ferocious spirit [Frozen Bone—Luo Gaocheng].

Through the Modification technology on the brain by the Ministry of Works, we can present the memory images to Your Majesty, and the relevant memories are sufficient to prove the fact of the newly appointed Secret official—Han Dong colluding with him.

At the same time,

Han Dong has also been secretly collecting information about the [Seventy-two Evil Spirits] in the barracks, attempting to collude with more fugitives.

The undead who provided him with fugitive information has already been Controlled by us, and if Your Majesty wishes, I can bring him over immediately.

This incident even involves the barracks’ Governor Wang Shiheng and matters deep within the Demon Region.

Please, Your Majesty, review the memory images from the brain first, then allow me to report to you one by one."

"Bring it forward."

Deadly Gas formed an arm out of the air, snatching the wooden box from Chen Xinying’s hands and pulling it inside.

However, the curtains were protected by a Barrier, and the inside was unclear.

After a moment,

thick Deadly Gas constantly spilled out from the bottom of the curtains as if the Tomb Lord’s anger grew upon seeing the memory images from the brain.

At the same time, a oppressive field formed within the Inner Palace under the field’s influence.

Even Shentu Yang felt somewhat unstable under such pressure... yet, this sense of pressure brought a smile to Shentu Yang’s face, looking towards the curtains with an expression of delight.

"Ah? It seems Your Majesty’s physical state has somewhat recovered!"

However, a flicker of doubt and displeasure passed through Chen Xinying’s eyes.

The Tomb Lord’s voice, tinged with a hint of anger, echoed throughout the entire Inner Palace: "There’s no issue with the memories, but you just mentioned that this matter also involves Governor Wang Shiheng. Do you have evidence?"

Chen Xinying pointed to her own head:

"I am the evidence.

I believe Your Majesty also noticed my presence when perusing Frozen Bone’s brain memories just now.

When I realized Han Dong’s abnormal actions, I decided to exploit my position to gain his trust.

Subsequently, I collaborated with him on a series of secret actions related to rebellion in the Demon Region.

Besides what I’ve just mentioned about [colluding with fugitives],

Han Dong also used the Demon Zombie as a medium to establish connections with demon creatures deep within the Demon Region,

entering into a secret cooperation with Wang Shiheng through a trade, the contents of which were the Governor’s most valued ’legs’.

I ask the Tomb Lord to directly examine the memories in my brain to verify the above statements."

"Since you have come to see Us today, Minister Shentu must have already verified the content of your memories, correct? Shentu Yang, is her statement true?"

"Your Majesty, what Taoist Master Chen has depicted aligns with the memory images she showed me, without any discrepancy or exaggeration... Although this humble official harbors some personal grievances with Governor Wang, there is not a single lie in this matter.

It is verified that this person possesses the peculiar power of [Removal of Corpse Gu], which allows her to easily extract Corpse Gu simply by touching the back of the head.

No doubt she used this ability and her knowledge of Corpse Gu to infiltrate the Secret Department... It appears necessary to change the internal audit methods of the Secret Department.

In summary, this person poses a significant threat to the Corpse Country, and I request Your Majesty’s permission to execute her."

Shentu Yang’s statement immediately affected the mood of the Brocade Robe Guards, with murderous intent directed at Han Dong.

"Don’t rush, since everyone has entered the Taiji Palace, without my permission, no one can leave.

It seems that Taoist Master Chen still holds some key evidence in his hands, let’s hear it all."

"Your Majesty, in recent days Han Dong, under the guise of being a Secret official and for work purposes, is suspected of going to the Earth Evil Palace and stealing the corpse of the founding Grand Scholar, Du Zhijing, which is closely related to his practice of the [Floating Corpse Internal Classic].

On the same day, using his relationship with Wang Shiheng, he went privately to the important [Chain Zone] and seems to have certain ideas about the chain works.

Once the traitors gather sufficient forces, it’s highly likely they will use the convenience of the barracks to take control of the entire underground chain area and use this as leverage to negotiate with Your Majesty, making the situation uncontrollable.

At the same time, I hope Your Majesty will thoroughly investigate the Secret Department.

Sir Yan of the Secret Department had previously visited Wang Shiheng’s private residence due to the ’Corpse Gu incident’ but cast aside the important Corpse Gu event due to some research documents provided by Han Dong, even allowing such a dangerous person into the Secret Department.

This action is highly suspect.

Of course, this lowly official also knows that the vetting of a Secret official requires passing Your Majesty’s oversight.

But there’s a great issue with Han Dong’s identity and origins, possessing quite extraordinary and unknown powers.

It’s possible that he used some strange Secret Art or even mysterious powers not of our world to pass the assessment."

"I’ve just received a message from the chain area as well, confirming that it’s true, the evidence is conclusive!"

Suddenly.

The Deadly Gas collected within the Taiji Palace transformed into tangible arms surrounding Han Dong.

The voice of the Tomb Lord descended from above with the pressure of his presence:

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Facing the current situation, Han Dong had nothing to say.

His eyes bulging with bloodshot veins, he stared fiercely at Chen Xinying nearby, filled with a hint of wanting to slice her into a thousand pieces.

However.

Chen Xinying simply responded with a smile, as if she had done similar things many times already.

"In that case, there’s no need for Minister Shentu to take action... Brocade Robe Guards, on my command, arrest the felon."

Four Brocade Robe Guards hidden in the Inner Palace area moved simultaneously, their weapons in hand already at the target’s neck in an instant.

"Hah... staring has made my eyes a bit uncomfortable, I knew I shouldn’t have cooperated with you."

While rubbing his eyes, Han Dong slowly got to his feet.

The swords and knives of the Brocade Robe Guards were not at Han Dong, but were instead suspended at Chen Xinying’s neck.

This turn of events left Shentu Yang completely stunned, and even the ’protagonist’ Chen Xinying wore a look of confusion... What on earth was happening?

"Miss Chen, how about that? Isn’t my acting much better than yours?

I treated you with due caution considering you’re an ’employee’, otherwise I would have killed you a long time ago.

Honestly, your acting is really terrible.

Despite being an ’employee’, you were somewhat at a disadvantage when dealing with Frozen Bone, do you think I’m a fool?

Also, your real form is an Ethereal dependent type, yet you still pretend to be controlled by Corpse Gu.

Your stiff expression the moment I removed the Corpse Gu nearly broke my defense... Fainting was a correct choice but also quite contrived.

There are many other parts where your acting was lacking, which I won’t list one by one."

With that said, Han Dong scattered a set of documents he had prepared early into the air.

Coming from the Ministry of Officials archives, they detailed the life events of Chen Xinying.

"But I didn’t expect that with such poor acting skills, you could still deceive other employees.

Using a similar denunciation method, reporting your peers who are also ’employees’, to gain official positions and quickly become a ’Dragon View Taoist Master’

However, it is also very possible that some of your powers subtly influenced these employees’ thoughts... I can’t judge that.

I advise you, if you don’t show your real strength now, I assure you that you will die a terrible death!"
